Knowing it has zero chance to impose its threats militarily anywhere in the world now, the US is reduced to promoting what has always been its second line of offence (defence never having had a role in US foreign policy) - government funded NGOs - to be the elite forces of its front line efforts...

“For the Russian fighters on the battlefield such words as ‘honor’, ‘dignity’ and ‘courage’ are not meaningless”
This is about 'Private Military Companies', those unofficial armies of, I would say, almost exclusively ex-soldiers, meaning that they are in reality 'mercenaries' - paid, unlicensed, war machines for hire, and their role in the world where officially licensed soldiery i.e. the military wing of national governments, are just too expensive or too controversial to...

A Lesson in True Democracy, From Xi Jinping
President Xi Jinping, leader of the People's Republic of China, the most populous nation on Earth and perhaps the nation state most closely representative of true democracy on the planet, addresses the subject earlier this month.

That sound you can hear? It’s the sound of bubbles popping.
I was going to write on a story of the Taiwan situation today, in which the West has revealed itself as a paper tiger following its dismissal from Afghanistan. Perhaps I will get to that tomorrow.

When Will The West Shed Its Juvenility And Achieve Adulthood?
"Australians flagged in Shanghai security files which shed light on China's surveillance state and monitoring of Uyghurs" - ABC News Australia Wait one fucking minute! This is talking about data supposedly hacked from a Chinese Police database.
